It has been so long since I’ve had a sushi dinner this great. Every cut of fish was so fresh and tasty. The service was incredible. I loved how knowledgeable and tasteful the staff and chefs were. I absolutely recommend coming here if you love nigiri and sake. All the food items were great. The sake flight was such a fun experience. Definitely will be coming back!

No words can describe how amazing this place is. Our party all agreed this was some of the best sushi we’ve ever had. The oysters, calamari, and salmon sashimi were absolutely to die for. There was not a single thing we tried that we did not care for. If you are anywhere near this establishment, and enjoy sushi, then we would 100% recommend. No kids menu, but our youngest got the salmon collar and loved it.

A truly memorable culinary journey at NARA, where the artistry of Chef Danny shines through in every detail. The Hamachi Truffle is the signature dish. Oh my gosh, you have to try this place! They have this incredible fish dish that’s like a cloud of melt-in-your-mouth goodness. It’s infused with this earthy truffle aroma that’s just divine. Apparently, this dish is a result of the Chef’s 30 years of hard work and passion for cooking. They believe in using only the freshest, purest ingredients and then using simple, yet effective techniques to bring out their true flavor. You can really taste the journey and evolution of their skills and vision in every bite. And beyond the signature dish, all their dishes are so precise and fresh. Even their vegetarian and gluten-free options are expertly prepared and just as delicious. The service is attentive but not overbearing, always anticipating your needs. The atmosphere is perfect – both elegant and comfortable. Parking was a breeze, which added to the overall smooth experience. NARA truly embodies the commitment to quality and culinary passion. It’s a place that deserves all the recognition it gets!

Best sushi in and around Nob and Russian Hill. Their Happy Hour is wonderful with open Handrolls and the staff is simply terrific. Lots of wonderful choices and reasonably priced.

It was a great find in SF for sushi. The fish was fresh and had tons of great options. We enjoyed the special (fly fish). It was nice to have a new fish prepared in 4 ways. We would come back for the omakase

We celebrated Father’s Day here and were so thankful they were able to fit us in with a last-minute reservation for a group of eight. The food was really good—some of the sushi pieces were a bit too big to eat in one bite and could’ve used a little more seaweed to hold them together, but they still tasted great. Our server was amazing—she had perfect timing with bringing out our appetizers, mains, and dessert. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy everything.

This place was severely disappointing. The service is poor, and you will need to flag down the waiter to get your order or you will wait 15 minutes even when the restaurant is not busy. We had to flag them down for the bill and not once did they check up on us. The male server must’ve been having a bad day because he had an attitude. The sushi itself is not high quality- you can definitely find a better spot down the street with better service and quality. I would not recommend this place.

I walked in for a late dinner and was able to find a seat at the bar. Jenny was a wonderful server and helped me make some very delicious choices in the chef special bluefin flight and fresh caught uni. She was very helpful in explaining the different cuts of the tuna, the sake list, and was very friendly and warm for an out of towner and first time visitor to Nara. The tuna flight was phenomenal. The two cuts of toro were the highlights, but the tuna hand roll was also super bright and a great finish to the flight. Jenny gave recommendations on order and pairing for the flight of sake and the flight of fish. Altogether just a wonderful time, the food came out quick, it was fun to watch the chefs preparing food with such delicate care, and if I lived in San Francisco this would be the spot I would take a date to impress them. 10/10

Quality sushi with a great atmosphere! I was really happy to find out they have a spicy tuna crispy rice dish, which is one of my absolute favorites. Theirs definitely impressed me. I got rolls this time around, but next time I want to try some of the nigiri. I was sitting at the bar and saw so many nigiri platters being made.

Awesome experience, I’ll definitely be back. The food was amazing. The calamari was fresh and crisp and not soggy. Good amount of seasoning. We also got the nigiri belly sampler (daily special). The hamachi was delicious. The 3 rolls we got were really good as well. Nice variety of flavors in the sake flight too. The service was amazing too, our server was very friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back.
